Xilinx Enables Any Media over Any Network with Comprehensive Suite of All Programmable Professional Video Solutions

Mar 23 15

Xilinx Inc. announced that it is enabling any media over any network with the industry's most comprehensive suite of programmable professional video solutions. The new generation of solutions for 4K/Ultra-HD and 8K/Super Hi Vision includes 'any to any' video connectivity, video processing, and development boards that enable designers to rapidly build ultra-high quality video systems for the broadcast and professional a/v markets. As 4K/Ultra-HD becomes the de facto resolution in consumer applications, the broadcast and professional a/v markets must create even more immersive experiences targeting not only 4K, but next generation 8K/Super Hi Vision. Additionally, equipment makers must push the boundaries on existing resolutions including HD and 4K/Ultra-HD to produce hyper-realistic video that removes motion blur artifacts in fast moving scenes. The market dictates enhanced pixel quality through deeper color depth, higher dynamic range, and increasing frame rates. In order to support these mandates, Xilinx is delivering the most comprehensive suite of solutions for advanced video system development. This new generation of solutions includes support for 'any to any' connectivity, video processing and development boards to rapidly develop and deploy 4K/Ultra-HD and 8K/Super Hi Vision systems, and provide the flexibility to enable any media over any network. Most comprehensive suite of programmable professional video solutions: New Suite of 'any to any' Video Connectivity: HDMI 1.4/2.0; DisplayPort 1.2 with support for HDCP; and the new 6G/12G versions of SDI. These Xilinx developed and supported interfaces will allow developers to support the latest industry standards for 8K/Super Hi Vision and 4K/Ultra-HD systems. Advanced Video Processing for 4K/Ultra-HD and 8K/Super Hi Vision: Xilinx supports advanced, all programmable video processing for 4K/Ultra-HD and 8K/Super Hi Vision through a programmable video processor provided by Omnitek, a Certified Member of the Xilinx Alliance Program. To speed up evaluation and development, the Omnitek Scalable Video Processing Suite is built into new versions of the Real-Time Video Engine, a free reference design from Xilinx that allows developers to rapidly implement a 4K/Ultra-HD video system in weeks rather than months. This video processing suite performs key video functions including de-interlacing, scaling, and overlays, while supporting refresh rates up to 60 frames per second, and allowing designers to add their own differentiated video algorithms. Multiple instances of this video processor can be implemented in a single Xilinx device enabling developers to create dense, multi-channel products. Comprehensive Video-specific Development Platforms: A complete portfolio of video interface breakout boards, or FPGA Mezzanine Cards (FMCs), are available through Fidus Systems Inc. and inrevium AMERICA, two Premier Design Services Members of the Xilinx Alliance Program. These FMCs support HDMI 2.0, DisplayPort 1.2 with HDCP, and the new 6G/12G versions of SDI. Fidus and inrevium have also designed the Xilinx Kintexon® UltraScaleon™ FPGA-based ACDC8K Platform for 8K/Super Hi Vision system development and the Xilinx Artixon®-7 FPGA-based Dual FPGA Mezzanine Card (FMC, VITA 57.1) Carrier Platform, the industry's lowest cost 4K/Ultra-HD development platform.

Xilinx Inc. Announces Availability of 100G RS-Fec IP for Data Center

Mar 18 15

Xilinx Inc. announced availability of its 100G IEEE 802.3bj Reed-Solomon FEC (RS-FEC) IP for data center, service provider, and enterprise applications. The 100G RS-FEC IP enables new emerging optical solutions such as SR4, CWDM4, PSM4 or ER4f. Using the Xilinx 100G IEEE 802.3bj RS-FEC LogiCORE IP, customers can accelerate designs and be first to market while meeting the increased demands of mobile and cloud traffic. This solution also delivers on the low latency needed for time sensitive applications such as high performance computing. The 100G RS-FEC LogiCORE IP solution seamlessly connects to the company's integrated or soft 100G Ethernet MAC IP running on Virtex UltraScale. The company is the first to demonstrate a complete 100G RS-FEC IP solution with Finisar and TE Connectivity optics showcased in multiple demonstrations at OFC 2015, March 24 and 26, 2015, Los Angeles Convention Center, Los Angeles, CA. These demonstrations will feature the Virtex UltraScale VU095 FPGA communicating to a Finisar CFP4 ER4f optical module (Ethernet Alliance booth #2531) and a TE QSFP28 SR4 optical module (TE booth #1417).
